@whojoey

Yes, please submit a debug log. Ensure you have debugging enabled in Settings>System Settings>Logging. Then restart Kodi and then try to scrape your shows.

It only seems to be affecting some but not others, so if we can see a log, @scudlee (who wrote the scraper) can diagnose the problem.

Thanks.

So I did a debug log and pasted my results. I used mainly Animaniacs as an example. I think there still is a website parsing error. giving you an "ERROR: Run: Unable to parse web site" constantly.

I don't think it's as simple as forgetting the "www" solution but I am no expert.

I really hope it isn't user error on my end, but let me know if there anything I should be doing. The way I have been "resetting" my database is I remove the directory from TV Show to None and it should remove only my TV shows from the database. I haven't done the settings "Clean Library" option because I don't really want to reset my movies library. I hope it does not have to come to that and it doesn't really make sense since I use the MovieDB scraper instead.

Anyways, here is my pastebin link for the 2.0.1 TVDB Error I am getting.

I know 1.8.5 uses a completely different API but I pasted an example of my log that successfully executes adding Animaniacs into my library.

Hope this helps!

Hello @whojoey... and hello @scudlee,

I have tested your show Animaniacs. I didn't really expect it to scrape, but I was surprised that it did scrape for me. Using TVDB v2.0.1

@scudlee I have attached my log of the scrape, so you can compare processes if need be.

For comparison, this is what happens when I scan for Animaniacs using the 2.0.0 scraper (really 2.0.1, but really that fix is irrelevant to this issue like you say):

Note the URLs are identical to yours apart from the Authorization token, which is supposed to change.

I hate to say, but the issue might be on your end somewhere. I don't know.

My only suspicion is it has to do with the use of xslt to parse and transform the data, but as far as I was aware libxslt should be a part of OpenElec (I was using Windows).

Hi,

I'm running into what seems to be the same (or similar at least) problem running Kodi with OpenELEC on a Raspberry Pi 2.

The version of tvdb scraper says 2.0.1

I added a dummy Animaniacs episode, and nothing scanned in. Here's the logs for it:

Exactly the same problem here. 1.8.5 works perfectly, 2.0.1 does not. I added a new series today which is not being scanned and added to the library with 2.0.1

Hi, I have the same problem on my Raspberry Pi 3 with Openelec 8.0.4.
My addon auto-updated today to version 2.0.1
Version 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 do not scrape any new shows, or new episodes from existing shows.
If I revert the plugin back to 1.8.5 it works great.

Here's (part of) my debug log: https://pastebin.com/NzaLR7wA

On line 12 it reads: "ERROR: Run: Unable to parse web site"

Just to chime in and say I have the exact same problem described on version 2.0.1 - also a raspberry pi / openelec user. No shows are recognised. Switching back to version 1.8.5 gets scraping working again.

Atomic66 · 2017-10-31, 16:36

Same for me.
Openelec 8.0.4 on rpi3.
New scrapper (2.0.1) cannot find any episode/show. Had to reinstall 1.8.5.

Hi,

I also have problems with the new scrapper, Kodi don't refresh new episodes from an existing show.

My debug log : https://pastebin.com/3Xzf68Tk

In my case <episodeguide> seems to be empty
DEBUG: scraper: GetEpisodeListAuth returned <episodeguide></episodeguide>
WARNING: No information found for item 'smb://192.168.1.20/Séries/Stranger Things/Saison 2', it won't be added to the library.

Just let me know if you need more details.

I see that your system does find a match: "DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Found episode match.."
I hope a fix will be published soon, because the old TVDB API will be shut down tomorrow...

The old API will not be shut off tomorrow, the sunset date for the old API was in actual fact the 1st Oct however was indefinitely delayed, unless you've seen something other than what is here https://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36557

_ofl_ · 2017-10-31, 19:14

I think that's just cause the file name matches the regex.
It seems like the GetEpisodeListAuth method returns no results. But that's weird, when i send the http request with curl, it works.

Apparently the deadline has been postponed, no ?

After trying to debug this myself for an hour or so, glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I'd post a debug log, but I'm seeing the exact same thing as _ofl_, the returned <episodeguide> is empty. I'm using OpenElec 8.0.4 on an Intel NUC with TVDB 2.0.1.

BertVano · 2017-10-31, 20:18

Hello

I am also experiencing this issue.
Works fine with 1.8.5 though.
